Physiopathological rationale of using high-flow nasal therapy in the acute and chronic setting: A narrative review [PDF]

, 2019
Chronic lung disease and admissions due to acute respiratory failure (ARF) are becoming increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing focus on optimizing respiratory support, particularly non-invasive respiratory support, to manage these ...

CESAR: conventional ventilatory support vs extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe adult respiratory failure. [PDF]

, 2006
BACKGROUND: An estimated 350 adults develop severe, but potentially reversible respiratory failure in the UK annually. Current management uses intermittent positive pressure ventilation, but barotrauma, volutrauma and oxygen toxicity can prevent lung ...

Frequency and functional translation of low muscle mass in overweight and obese patients with COPD

Respiratory Research, 2021
Background Cut offs for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) are available for diagnosing low muscle mass in patients with COPD. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the frequency of low muscle mass (FFMI and ASMI)

Restricted spirometry and cardiometabolic comorbidities: results from the international population based BOLD study

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Whether restricted spirometry, i.e. low Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), predicts chronic cardiometabolic disease is not definitely known. In this international population-based study, we assessed the relationship between restricted spirometry and

Chronic respiratory failure [PDF]

Thorax, 2003
The recent case report by Smyth and Riley1 describes an extremely uncommon chronic respiratory failure due to hypoventilation secondary to brainstem stroke, and documents a new treatment option with medroxyprogesterone acetate. We recently saw two patients also with central hypoventilation resulting in chronic type II respiratory failure and treated ...

Long Term Non-invasive Ventilation in Children With Central Hypoventilation

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Central hypoventilation (CH) is a quite rare disorder caused by some congenital or acquired conditions. It is featured by increased arterial concentration of serum carbon dioxide related to an impairment of respiratory drive. Patients affected by CH need

Similarity measurements of B cell receptor repertoire in baseline mice showed spectrum convergence of IgM

BMC Immunology, 2022
Background The B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire is highly diverse among individuals. Poor similarity of the spectrum among inbred baseline mice may limit the ability to discriminate true signals from those involving specific experimental factors.
